Domain Registration Service NameCheap Now Accepts Bitcoin Via BTCPay.

Quote
The Los Angeles-based domain registrar service Namecheap on September 17th announced that it will be supporting Bitcoin payments made through BTCPay, an open-source, self-hosted cryptocurrency payment processor focused on security, privacy, and censorship-resistance. Namecheap's decision to integrate BTCPay comes after a number of the service's customers said they preferred that payment processor over its competitor BitPay, which Namecheap has long supported. Smiley

This is great news. I have used them and expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that they're using BitPay. I had to install an electrum wallet just to pay for my hosting.

There is nothing wrong with using and or selling bitcoin when you need to..that what it is for imo. That being said, I find great pleasure using it as a incredibly secure store of value.

monetized value

value has been residing in the analog world since value existed. since the historical process of digitization started in the 20th century it was only information that got digitized. which already changed the world, changed our everyday lives and our lives as a whole. everything that got digitized transformed into something that could be utilized orders of magnitude better compared to its analog state. the velocity of digital information dwarfs anything analog. digitization today is the equivalent of industrialization of the 19th century, a true world changer.

I am not saying that digital stuff wasn't valuable or valued before 2009. software vendors had and have ways sell digital products for money, that is not the point. any transformation of value itself to the digital realm can only happen through a vehicle that possess digital scarcity and bitcoin is the only digital scarce asset known so far. with the invention of digital scarcity in 2009 it is now possible for value itself to migrate into the digital world.

monetary value is just information. no one knows today how much of the analog monetary value will end up getting digitized. how much analog information is moving around today? how much went digital?


there is trillions and trillions of analog monetary value. there are only 21 million digitally scarce bitcoin. this will be fun to watch unfold as a hodler of bitcoin.

I was always curious to know the number of hats/year of registration.

(The year of registration in the forum has nothing to do with the date they decided to wear a hat)

[...] the confirmed fact that bitcoin has been in a confirmed downtrend for ~4 years because people have realized it doesn't work well.

That comes off as incredible—actually, idiotic to people who actually use Bitcoin.  Have you ever actually tried it?

I don't think this is true science and math

I am in Bitcoin because, in my confirmed empirical experience, the banking system “doesn’t work well”.  Sending and receiving money with banks is painful.  They demand piles of dox, they make you jump through hoops, transactions randomly fail because some “anti-fraud” system got tripped, they set limits (!) on how much money you can send and receive (!!)...  WTF?  How does anybody actually use this!?

That is my experience with banks.  Yes, with real, legal info—freely offering them everything short of a cavity search.  If you have ever had (e.g.) a genuine transaction declined with a “please call our fraud department (and wait on hold like an obedient dog awaiting Master’s attention) ‘for your protection’ (LOL)” message, then it is your experience, too—just perhaps, you didn’t take full cognizance of it, because you are used to being abused.

People’s continued submission to banks is either a global pandemic of masochism, or perhaps mass Stockholm Syndrome.  The banking system is horrible.  People are psychologically conditioned to accept it by the very nature of its arbitrary and perpetually shifting rules—otherwise stated, a mindfuck.  If a free man from the distant past time-travelled to the present and had a pile of bank forms and “KYC” demands shoved in his face, his first response would be indignation:  “Just who do you think you are to demand this of me?”  Banks are degrading to their “customers”.

Bitcoin works.  No doxing, no asking permission, no jumping through hoops like a trained circus animal for the privilege of using your own money.  Your.  Own.  Money.  How many people even know what that means anymore?

I enjoy actually using Bitcoin.  Sending and receiving money is so easy!  With the push of a button, I transact with anybody, anywhere in the world!  Wheeee!  It’s so simple and downright fun that sometimes, I spam testnet/regtest transactions to myself for sheer pleasure.

This is proven science and math.

Go, Bitcoin, go!

TBH, I'm not sure why the Bitcoin community is high-fiving each other over this revelation.

I mean sure, it's exciting that a corporation has figured out how to take a large long position in BTC without rocking the boat. I'm sure that other corporations will begin to follow suit in the coming 3-6 months or within the year. The more institutional corporate hodlers, the better. This is overall good news.

But look, if the straight-laced corps with good intentions have figured out how do this, then so can the nefarious Wall Street whale traders as well as other country's seedy deep pocket whale traders (China, Russia, Germany, England, etc). These guys have hundreds of millions $$$, if not billions $$$, at their disposal too. And the difference is that they don't have to make any public announcements, or get their respective legal teams and corp shareholders involved to fight through a bunch of red tape and months of wrangling before they do it. They can and will take up such positions covertly. These types will be the first to dump all their btc at the top of the next bubble, for sure. This is not so great news.

Fine, paid a lot of fees to miners (good boy)...honestly, I don't see a need to make 78K tx to get "just" 21K btc.
That's just being a bit severely paranoid. Why not buy some otc in chunks?

Did you not notice the “off-chain” part?  Ridiculous...

He paid fees for 18 on-chain transactions to miners.  Smart man.  He made ≈4355 Bitcoin transactions per tx that actually paid miner fees!

Off-chain transacting is the way of the future—the global public ledger is for secure synchronization of off-chain protocols.

Admittedly, I may be mixing issues and making too many assumptions there.  “Off-chain” could mean on a centralized exchange.  It could also mean Lightning Network, which is what I meant by “the way of the future”.  Or it could mean any number of other things.  (Just thinking aloud, perhaps he scooped up a bunch of WBTC, then redeemed it—LOL, that would also be “off-chain” in this context.)

Yes, what he calls off-chain looks like simple buying on exchange, and not even otc.
Pretty bizarre, actually:

TBH, I'm not sure why the Bitcoin community is high-fiving each other over this revelation.

Left door:  Group psychology.
Right door:  Desire for bullish news, due to skin in the game.

What looks like probably a large long-term holding is good news.  0.2% of the total current BTC supply just moved from dumping bears and knife-juggling day-traders to cold storage.  Good.

Something else that does not seem to have been mentioned:  MicroStrategy is effectually dumping dollars.  Their big “cash reserve” is now much smaller; they are no longer HoDLing the dollar.  Hmmm...  As a dollar bear who has been warning people to dump dollars, I am thinking about what, of course, Saylor will not say even if (if) he is thinking it, too.

I mean sure, it's exciting that a corporation has figured out how to take a large long position in BTC without rocking the boat. I'm sure that other corporations will begin to follow suit in the coming 3-6 months or within the year. The more institutional corporate hodlers, the better. This is overall good news.

I myself tend to distrust institutional corporate holders; but there is nothing that I can do to stop them.

The more adoption by businesses (= the economically significant money in the productive economy, i.e. outside the extractive, destructive financial sector) and individuals (= attracts business), the better.

But look, if the straight-laced corps with good intentions have figured out how do this, then so can the nefarious Wall Street whale traders as well as other country's seedy deep pocket whale traders (China, Russia, Germany, England, etc). These guys have hundreds of millions $$$, if not billions $$$, at their disposal too. And the difference is that they don't have to make any public announcements, or get their respective legal teams and corp shareholders involved to fight through a bunch of red tape and months of wrangling before they do it. These types will be the first to dump all their btc at the top of the next bubble, for sure. This is not so great news.

That is similar to why I did not share the excitement about CME, etc. in late 2017.  And I was right...



Sometimes, simpler is better to avoid missing the point:

18 on-chain transactions.

He paid fees for 18 on-chain transactions to miners.  Smart man.

I should have avoided my speculation obiter dictum on what he meant by “off-chain”.

Well i sort of see this as how you look at it.

Sure "bad actors" will take positions as well... after all Bitcoin is for all people.  Even people that hate it?  As it is said "Bitcoin is for enemies".

But I do NOT think MicroStrategy's position building had no effect on coins.  It might have had less than it would at market. But what it did was pull liquid coins away from people selling them.  There are 3X,XXX less of those now.

How could this be bad?

- Well selling pressure from miners could rise a little now assuming other whales are not in the background buying up OTC.

But that's just it.  If this keeps happening then market prices will suddenly start to lok good even WITH slippage, and you know what happens then.

I do not see how we can play "there goes the neighborhood" when bad guys start buying... That's what this was designed for.
